Ret. General/Chief of Staff Under Bush 41: Bush foreign policy a 'national disaster'

[L.A. BRONCOS FAN]

Retired Gen. Tony McPeak, Air Force chief of staff during the first Gulf War and one-time "Veteran for Bush" said America's foreign relations for the first 3 years of Bush's term have been "a national disaster" but that John Kerry was "up to the task" of rebuilding.

The president, on the other hand, "fought against the very formation of the commission and continues to the present moment to give it only grudging cooperation, no matter what he says," the general said. "Why should we believe he will do anything to institute the needed change?"

For those of us who served under General McPeak, we can attest to the fact that anything the good General says should be taken with many grains of salt.

Riiiiiight.

A former USAF Chief of Staff under Bush 41 (who was also a Bush supporter) would suddenly jump ship and call Dim Son's policies "a national disaster" for no reason.

Did I mention that oceanfront property I have for sale in Wyoming?

Just providing a first hand, personal data point. Hard to digest, huh? Read my sig line.

I didn't serve under him but I can say that some of his programs he implemented in the Air Force are freaking ridiculous.

You gave nothing to "digest."

You merely attacked the general's credibility w/o offering any evidence that his views re: AWOL Boy's foreign policies were erroneous.
